Russian Modules

I ran across this today:

http://www.russnet.org

They do make you register but it's all FREE so go ahead and sign up.

It has lots of interesting modules. I would say the level of Russian you need to participate would be beginning intermediate and up. Sadly there is no audio but the materials are pretty interesting - covering history, literature, science etc. They give you a short text with a glossary of some of the words then you go through a series of comprehension and grammar exercises related to the text. It is fully interactive so you do know when it is right and wrong etc. A pretty good site and honestly it is really needed. So many language materials are either too basic or too advanced there is a real drought out there for those of us that I would call "tweens." I'm past hi how are you but not sharp enough to take on War and Peace yet.
